We felt very welcomed and comfortable! We met friends from Orillia who had never been there and all of us enjoyed the food and hospitality. A favourite spot when we’re in the area.

We went for my son‘s birthday. The food we ordered was amazing. We both ordered French onion soup and deep fried pickles and we both had the hot hamburger. Our waitress was excellent, looking forward to my next visit.
